Pedagogical IT is a department under Copenhagen Municipality that works with pedagogical implementation of IT and the development of technical products for schools and daycares.
The two employers we talked to are working especially with learning and play, and are connected to a large number of institutions, child-and test-groups, where they work from the perspective of the children.
One of the things they work with in Pedagogical IT is the concept of “the open school”, where among other things safety is discussed. The amusement park Tivoli in Copenhagen has been working with safety wristbands for kids as well, with some involvement from Pedagogical IT. Their experience is that in any safety-solution it is crucial to have the children involved, so that the it will be fun and/or educational for them, and so that it is a solution they would like to use.
If it should be a pedagogical tool and not just surveillance, and be a Nordic/Scandinavian product, one should be focused on learning and play and have children in the centre.
